Abstract

Drawing upon quantitative data gathered from the U.S. Census and U.S. Department of Education, as well as interviews with students from a variety of socio-economic and ethnic backgrounds, Low-Income Students and The Perpetuation of Inequality examines the question of who really benefits from public higher education. It engages with questions of social capital, opportunity, funding and access to education, presenting a rich discussion of social mobility, the value of college education and the impact of education upon the redistribution of income. A thorough exploration of the real impact of col

Abstract

Telecommunications sector policy-makers and regulators have a wide range of instruments available to them that can be used to increase access to telecommunications services in rural and low-income areas. The paper provides a review of these instruments, evaluating them against a set of criteria. It then goes on to identify a number of them that are worthy of further consideration by policy-makers and regulators while demonstrating that the effectiveness of the identified instruments can be greatly enhanced by the establishment of a conducive legal, regulatory and institutional framework.

Abstract

First published in 1934, this historical survey of the application of the Poor Law in Cambridgeshire covers the period from its codification under Queen Elizabeth I to the Amendment Act of 1834. Resulting from the author's extensive analysis of parish records, accounts and court proceedings, the examination of a largely agricultural county marks it out from many other such studies. Cambridgeshire is a unique area; although under a strong metropolitan influence due to its geographical proximity to London and its links to the capital via the University of Cambridge, it contains few towns or large villages. The scattered population meant efforts to group areas for the purposes of administration during the period in question were largely unsuccessful. Instead, E.M. Hampson's study reveals that local autonomy led to large variations in the application of the Poor Law.

Abstract

This is the story of a shantytown community in South Africa and its efforts to secure a decent life, moving from tin shacks to formal housing, in postapartheid South Africa. The author's 17-year longitudinal study of this community has resulted in an extraordinary work that brings its people alive, through photographs, interviews, and even recipes.

Abstract

'Dead Aid' analyses the history of economic development over the last 50 years and shows how aid crowds out financial and social capital and directly causes corruption. He also shows how, with improved access to capital and markets and with the right policies, even the poorest nations could be allowed to prosper.

Abstract

Het woord heroïne is afgeleid van het Griekse woord voor held, 'heros'. Tim Van Steendam gaat in dit boek op zoek naar de helden van vandaag. Hij zwierf maandenlang door kraakpanden, straten en pleinen van Gent en volgde de situatie van een gebruiker en een ex-gebruiker op de voet. Tussendoor voerde hij opmerkelijke gesprekken met figuren zoals Davy De Bakker die in een sluikstort woont, Mo die in een wasserette slaapt, Zwijgzame Cowboy voor die aan een overdosis sterft, Chris die een skelet in zijn kraakpand heeft, de onverbeterlijke dief Claudio, of het kindje dat heroïne in haar ondergoed smokkelt..Door het oog van de naald is een tragikomisch verslag van een uitzonderlijke reis door onze eigen samenleving, een plaats waarvan we dachten dat we ze kenden.
